CELL PHONE JAMMER
As a priest was reading aloud a passage from the Bible during a graduation ceremony of a Catholic high school, all the attendants—students, parents, and teachers---were as calm as a millpond. Suddenly a gay ringtone rang frantically damaging the solemnity and bewildering the attendants. Kenta, a 49-year-old teacher working for the school, was one of those who were offended.
As his anger lingered even after he came back home in the evening, he wrote about his displeasing experience on his blog and published it. A few days later a comment was sent to his blog from a cell phone jammer maker based in London. It said that their products would disable mobile transmitting and receiving if they were turned on.
There were various jammers: portable, high power, classroom, indoor, and outdoor use. Kenta ordered a portable one (about 20,000 yen) because it would jam all cell phones within the range of 25 meters. It would be effective in his class where some students used cell phones or in the trains and buses.
About two weeks later the jammer arrived. From that day on, Kenta took it with him to school. Before going to the classroom, he switched on the machine. It was so effective that some students started wondering why their cell phones failed to work and gave up using them. Kenta used the jammer while commuting to and from school by train, too. When he found a selfish man talking noisily on the cell phone, he secretly turned on the jammer. That instant the man looked surprised and seemed to think something was wrong with the gadget. He gave up talking. Kenta enjoyed the sudden countenance change of the cell phone users. He felt good. He thought he was doing good for the public. He brought the blocker when he went to see movies, theaters, libraries, and art museums. Wherever he went, there was silence around him. Kenta felt as if he were a savior for peace-loving and noise-hating people.
Arrogance began to grow in him. He began to use the jammer not for the benefit of the public but for himself only. He liked reading books sitting on a bench at a park near his house on weekends. Whenever he heard people talking on a mobile while he was reading, he flipped the switch. He was tolerant of hearing normal conversations but intolerant of hearing one-way talking.
One day as he was reading on the bench, he heard a nasty punky man talking on a cell phone in a hoarse angry voice. Kenta switched on the jammer and quickly looked at the man, who, wondering why his cell phone suddenly stopped working, pushed the cell phone to dial again, but in vain. “Damn it!”he swore looking at the dead machine. Kenta cast a glance at him again laughing in his mind. The irritated man approached Kenta and said in a deep, threatening voice, “Hey, doc, why did you stare at me?”
Kenta said, “No, no, I didn’t.”
“Don’t play innocent. You want to pick a fight with me, don’t you?”
“No, no, no….”
“OK. Then, I’ll take you on!”
The man grabbed Kenta by the collar and pulled him up.
“Please, don’t, don’t do that to me,” Kenta pleaded.
“Okay. I understand. You are going to give me shit,” the man said and hit Kenta in the face. Kenta, bleeding from his nose, staggered back. The man hit Kenta in the stomach. Kenta fell. The man then began to kick him.
A woman, who was looking on, took out a cell phone and dialed 110, but her cell phone failed.

Sometimes I really think the cell phone jammer is really a necessity in schools. A lot of students are immerging in texting during classes.This is annoying. I saw the site http://www.jammerall.com/ sells jammers but I don't know whether I can buy one for the sake of classroom order.
